La Flor Dominicana Air Bender

The Air Bender cigars by La Flor Dominicana certainly have a somewhat unusual name. According to Litto, however, "Air Bender" has nothing to do with the film of the same name. Instead, it refers to the smoke flowing from the cigar, which "bends the air." The individual names throughout the line are all inspired by martial arts, a passion Litto has long embraced.

Air Bender Cigars by La Flor Dominicana: Creamy Smoke with Bold Character

By Litto Gomez's standards, these cigars are exceptionally creamy and smooth, while still delivering plenty of strength and punch. Flavor notes of coffee and pepper are clearly present. The Tubo Robusto was introduced first in 2013. In 2014, Philipp Schuster, then representing the exclusive importer August Schuster, expanded the range with the Villano and the Poderoso. Since 2018, all cigars by Litto Gomez have been imported into Germany by Agio Cigars. Following Agio's acquisition by the Danish group STG in 2020, the "small but exceptional" La Flor Dominicana cigars ultimately found a new home with Kopp Tobaccos in November 2025.

Litto Gomez and Air Bender: Coffee, Pepper Notes, and Distinctive Strength

Litto Gomez and his wife Ines left the jewelry business after their store was robbed and entered the cigar industry in 1996. Litto had always been passionate about cigars, having been an avid cigar smoker long before. Today, La Flor Dominicana has become an established name in the industry with an outstanding international reputation. You could almost say that, fortunately for cigar enthusiasts, the robbery happened—otherwise, the cigar world would undoubtedly be missing something special.
